"A massive Armada is heading to Iran... ready, willing, and able to fulfill its mission with speed and violence." President Trump has issued his most direct warning yet to the Iranian regime. Backed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, the administration has moved the USS Abraham Lincoln and a massive fleet into position, effectively bottlenecking Iran’s maritime options. Following the 2025 success of "Operation Midnight Hammer," Hegseth warns that the U.S. is prepared to deliver "whatever the President expects" to ensure a zero-nuclear Iran. Is this the final warning before a full-scale strike?

The fragile US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza is facing its toughest test yet. Overnight, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed a targeted airstrike in southern Rafah, eliminating three individuals described as "terrorists" who emerged from an underground tunnel near troop positions. While the search continues for five others, the strike raises urgent questions about the stability of the truce that has been in place since October 2025. This escalation comes at a pivotal moment as the second phase of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan kicks off. With the newly formed "National Committee for the Administration of Gaza" and the US-led "Board of Peace" attempting to manage civilian affairs and restore public services, the path to demilitarization remains fraught with violations.
